A few notes on the extraction of wh-words from adjective phrases in Croatian

Sažetak: This paper examines the possibilities of extraction of wh-words from adjective phrases in Croatian. It is argued that extraction is possible from non-specific, but not from specific attributive adjective phrases, while it is generally possible from predicative adjective phrases. The restrictions on extraction are motivated by the pragmatic principle stating that presupposed information cannot be questioned.
